Brennans' Bar attack

The Brennans' Bar attack occurred on 14 November 1972 when three Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) paramilitary soldiers opened fire on Irish Catholic patrons at Brennans' Bar in the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The gunmen opened fire with assault rifles and killed 2 people while wounding 7, and they fled the scene. The attack was revenge for previous IRA attacks on the Protestant Ulster Scots in the city.
